Both the Kobo Glo and the Kobo mini are very solid, capable eReaders which we recommend as strong rivals to Amazon's dominant Kindle models if you're looking for an alternative. However, we have to put a question market over the Mini's physical size — is...
No 3G, Drab design, Average processor, Sideloading requires PC/Mac
A small, versatile, customisable and highly portable e-reader that can be held in one hand, the Kobo Mini features a user experience identical to other efforts from the brand, though a slower processor, low-res screen and the need for a computer make thi...

Abstract: One of the few e-Readers to deviate substantially from the Kindle template, the Kobo Mini is both cheaper and smaller than its competitors and you can pick one up for under £50. For a touchscreen device that can comfortably be used in one hand, that's an ...
Abstract: Either of these would qualify as the smallest dedicated book reader that I have seen so let's start with the larger.The Kobo Glo measures 15.5x11.5x1cm and weighs 183grams. Mine was white with a pinkie red back. It has two buttons on the top a micro USB c...

There's a lot to like about the Kobo Mini. It's very small and very light without feeling at all flimsy. It's extremely affordable and it doesn't tie you in to one specific book vendor. However, we keep coming back to the reading experience. The 5in scre...
Small size, WiFi, Touchscreen, Good finishing, Responsive, Uni/multilingual dictionaries, Web browser
No microSD slot, No audio books, No backlight, Battery life (2 weeks with WiFi turned off)
Portable by nature, this pint-sized e-reader will fit snugly in your back pocket for a low price, all without sacrificing reading comfort or features. Readers-on-the-go will, however, have preferred a longer-lasting battery....
Abstract: Apple's compact tablet is powerful, beautifully designed and comes with access to the largest range of tablet-specific apps of any operating system. It is also more expensive than its rivals. As with the other tablets, there are films, television and m...

The Kobo Mini has a smaller screen with older hardware than the 6-inch Kobo Touch, and it lacks the option to add storage with a memory card. Does this mean that you should avoid the Kobo Mini? Not at all. The reader is small enough to fit in your insid...
